Both Sides of the Table
JULY 15, 2010
Heck, stick around and watch me discuss the seed funding debate that is going on right now and what is happening in the VC industry overall. I give a sneak peek at a blog post I’m writing on the topic next week. I spoke about the need of the CEO, CTO and head of Products to be in the same location. Great exit. -

We not only have our Series A funds that can write $500k?—?$15 15 million first checks but we also have three growth funds. If you invest early and then pull back in the next 3 rounds your multiples on cash invested are much higher than if you keep writing checks. VCs have different views and strategies on this.

It’s true the some VCs have started writing so many checks that they resemble stock pickers but the majority of us still have less than 10 board seats at any time and tend to go pretty deep so the result is that we care deeply about where we commit our time. Meredith came to see me along with the CTO Marc Berte.

I decided to write about my experience and to be blunt. I don’t plan to write the authoritative venture capital blog, just some anecdotes. And covered we did.

Zach Ferres (Chief Technology Officer) has been an entrepreneur since the age of 15. Many times I think that it would be awesome to have a conversation with them, but typically write off the idea because the process for access is too difficult. Any funding yet? He also attended The Ohio State University.
SoCal CTO
SEPTEMBER 8, 2010
August was a slow month in terms of traffic and I was away for a lot of the month, but there were some really great posts at the intersection of startups, technology, product and being a Startup CTO. We had to write a CRM to keep track of them all. The expanding pool of angel, seed, and super seed funds is another.

As CTO, it was my job to solve this problem. You’re writing that book as you go along. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BIGGEST… … reason for success: Focus on the customer; thinking outside the box. Our IT group was not able to support all of the new people we hired.
